  • I lingered by the 24th street aperture around sunset, with a couple strangers, and wasnt too impressed at first. I heard a little squeaking from inside the tunnel, it smells pretty bad, and the bats are quite small. One or two fly out of the tunnel, then scoot right back in. Their flight is unusually jerky, not like a bird, and individual bats are difficult to follow. Think fast, drunken hummingbirds on steroids, that never completely suspend. Anyway, a few more people showed up, and about fifteen minutes after offical sunset, more and more bats poured out. It was getting darker and I still couldnt tell if they were coming out and retreating back in - that's how fast and small they are. But I could tell there were alot of them. Alot of specks racing down through the 30 ft deep Army Corps of Engineers' diversion channel. That's when I saw it. The money shot that makes this a five star event. I turned my head up, away from the dark channel, toward the recently set sun in the west. And there, silhouetted against the lighter clouds, were hundreds of bats, arcing south and west together into the Phoenix night. They came in waves. A group of fifty or so, then a lull, then another fifty. This went on for fifteen minutes and I probably saw more than a thousand bats by the time I left. Walking back home, a swarm came near enough to make me flinch, but my breath or movement - or maybe just my mass -activated their sonar and scattered them instantly in a different direction. To think this unusual nature show transpires every night, less than a mile from the hustle and bustle of 24th and Camelback is pretty neat, I think, and I'm really glad I saw it. It may not be the Grand Canyon, but it might make you think about nature in a similar way, about it's mystery and splendor. It's free, a tiny bit scary but safe, and should capture most people's imaginations. Highly recommended.
